The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Open Source technologies is transforming the global education landscape. In alignment with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, educators are expected to embrace digital innovation, foster personalized learning, and create inclusive teaching–learning environments. To meet these emerging demands, this MOOC on “Artificial Intelligence and Open Source Tools for Teaching–Learning Excellence” has been designed to equip faculty, teachers, and education professionals with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience required for AI-enabled pedagogy.
By combining conceptual understanding with practical applications, the course empowers educators to design innovative, learner-centric pedagogies, adopt cost-effective solutions, and enhance institutional academic practices. By the end of this MOOC, participants will be able to design, develop, and implement AI-enabled teaching resources using open source tools, thereby enhancing the quality of education and contributing to the creation of future-ready classrooms. This programme will serve as a capacity-building platform for educators, empowering them to leverage AI and open source tools to achieve teaching–learning excellence in higher education and beyond.
